Oh Deer! Christmas is right around the corner.

Oh how I love this pretty paper!  (Oh Deer! X7214B) I knew I would love making some Christmas cards using the coordinating stamp set, Perfectly Pine (A1191).

Oh Deer! X7214B

 

Perfectly Pine (A1191)

Here's a card I made using the Oh Deer! paper collection and Perfectly Pine stamp.  I also decorated the envelope flap using the Perfectly Pine stamp so it would coordinate with the card.

 

I used a few older stamps sets to add the borders (C1450 Eclectic Edges - retired) and sentiment (B4103 To You and Yours - retired).  If you have these you may want to pull them out.  There are many other new stamps sets available for the holidays that will make beautiful cards.

Here are a few that will make wonderful cards:

All is Bright (A1190)

 

Sameach (B1538)

 

Jolly Holiday (C1654)

 

Season of Magic (C1665)

 

Very Merry (D1694)

Very Merry is also available in French (D1694F) and Spanish (D1694S).

Jeepers Creepers!

Are you ready to take fabulous Halloween photos and put them on a cute layout? 

This layout is quick and easy using Close To My Heart's "Jeepers Creepers" paper pack (X7211B) and a quick stamped title with two colors layered over one another.  The bat and the friendly monsters were cut using the Artistry Cricut cartridge (Z3167).  Try adding some googly eyes for a touch of whimsy. There is a wide variety of paper and embellishments in the Jeepers Creepers line of products.

Do you have more than four photos?  (I know I will.)  Add some Flip Flaps for an interactive page and space for even more photos.

Left page: 1"x12" Slate is 3" from top.  Below that, 5"x12" Jeepers Creepers monsters and 2"x12" Slate.  Right page:  1"x12" Slate on the right.  Beside that, 5"x 12" Jeepers Creepers monsters.  Across the page, 1"x12" Pansy 2" from bottom of page.  All photo mats are 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" (Lagoon and Black).  Photo embellishment uses the "zip strip".  Journaling card is 3 1/2" x 4 1/2".  Bat and monsters are from Cricut Artistry.
